Hellinsia meyricki is a moth of the family Pterophoridae first described by William Barnes and Arthur Ward Lindsey in 1921. It is found in the US state of California (including the type location, San Diego).

The wingspan is 24–29 mm. It is similar to Hellinsia mizar, but the markings on the wings differ slightly in form. The head differs in having a contrasting white patch between the antennae. The palpi are brown touched with white below. The anterior half of the thorax is white. The posterior margins of the abdominal segments are whitish above. The abdomen is marked laterally with alternating oblique stripes of dark gray brown and white and has a lateral white line in the posterior half.[https://archive.org/stream/contributionston414barn/contributionston414barn_djvu.txt Contributions to the Natural History of the Lepidoptera of North America]{{PD-notice}}
